Graphic with teal border and Long COVID awareness ribbon. Text reads: “March is Long Covid Awareness Month. Facts about Long Covid we wish were not true: #1. We wish it weren’t true that you don’t have to be ‘high-risk’ to get it. A marathon runner, a teenager, your healthy colleague. Long COVID doesn’t discriminate based on your pre-COVID health or fitness.” A silhouette of a runner appears on the left. Website listed: www.longcovidcollective.org.

Graphic with teal border and Long COVID awareness ribbon. Text reads: “Facts about Long Covid we wish were not true: #2. We wish it weren’t true that even a mild infection can lead to severe long-term illness. You can have a few days of cold-like symptoms and then months or years of crushing fatigue, brain fog, and dysautonomia. Severity of the acute illness does not predict likelihood of Long Covid.” A cartoon virus appears on the left. Website listed: www.longcovidcollective.org.

Graphic with teal border and Long COVID awareness ribbon. Text reads: “Facts about Long Covid we wish were not true: #3. We wish it weren’t true that pushing through can make you permanently disabled. With many illnesses, rest helps and pushing is brave. With Long COVID, pushing through symptoms can trigger permanent setbacks. Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is real: one good day of overdoing it can leave you bedbound for weeks or permanently disabled.” A wilted plant appears on the left.

We are all #OneInfectionAway

So someone with measles can spread it before they have symptoms, it can float in the air for hours and years later, they can develop new health complications?

Given the attack on human rights happening in Kansas, it’s a good time to remind people that “just move” is not an option for most people.

You need money, resources and health to be able to move.

The most oppressed & most marginalized rarely have those things.

We must resist.

“It’s not realistic to wear a mask everywhere.”

Well neither is the government letting an airborne virus endlessly rip that causes immune system dysregulation and long term organ damage and telling everyone it’s just a cold—and yet here we are. Choose wisely. #COVID

Cutting off Medicaid to Minnesota is social murder.

People will die without healthcare.

People will become disabled without healthcare.

This is a policy choice meant to inflict maximum suffering.

Healthcare is a human right.

Please understand that we are not going to stop talking about why Covid is dangerous.

We are not going to stop talking about mitigation tools.

We are not going to stop talking about mask bans.

We are not going to stop talking about both pediatric and adult Long Covid.

This is from 2021 and is no longer accurate. Fauci has tested positive for COVID since the vaccine rollout.

Vax 'n' relax also doesn't care about the unvaccinated being unprotected. It's horrific!

Anti-vax: My immune system will protect me. The weak deserve to die. Let the diseases spread!

Vax 'n' relax: My vax will protect me. Let the diseases spread! I will pretend to care, sometimes, that vulnerable people die.

Vax 'n' protect: Hey man, no one deserves to die. Stop spreading disease!

Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.

I was told I was "obsessed with getting sick" for turning on a HEPA filter. Weird how that works? Wouldn't a HEPA filter *prevent* sickness?

Knowing who to be mad at really is praxis.

How horrible! "Move on"="don't talk to me about COVID - I can't handle it"

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

“She’s not from here.”

This is the fourth night in two weeks of wretched air quality.

The particulate matter is so high I can’t crack a window, which means my apartment is a sauna and I keep blacking out.

I’ve never experienced this is February.

Shame on every government that refuses to take climate change seriously.

People who still take Covid seriously are increasingly isolated and being able to access community in places that encourages masking can be lifesaving for mental health.

Okay, so... if someone in a mutual aid group contracts covid, that puts at risk anyone they work with of getting it, which means having to go to a hospital, which means victims of ICE having to go out in public because of something entirely avoidable, you dunce. That's why, you insipid moron.

Maybe this has something to do with it? "huge cutbacks at our hospitals, because patients won't come in, because ICE hangs out inside the building or by the doors and abducts people. Crushing our medical system alongside our schools and our businesses." We need to protect health against fascism

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

We’re now entering the 30th anniversary of Section 230 and there’s a bipartisan effort to repeal it- which will mean free speech no more for the internet.

We’ll be getting into it this week- for now, get those phones ready to fire up and call your reps: www.whatissection230.org

I've seen a few cruel posts on Twitter / X recently, and, as a result, I would remind you all of the following:

If you're trying to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, you're being smart.

Mask harassment - online or irl - is done by uninformed, resentful and insecure people. Ignore them.

Anyway, the NFL was smart to have him as their halftime performer. People who don't care at all about football tuned in for the show and will leave with positive feelings about the NFL (not that they deserve those, lol).

Hope it's takeout because we're in a horrible flu/respiratory season and airborne diseases picked up at brunch can be passed to the vulnerable we're supposed to be fighting to protect. It's not a revolution if it's not accessible.

Reminder that our government declared COVID magically over not for health or scientific reasons, but because of economic, financial, and political ones.
